It was nice at first

Who doesn’t want to go back to the office? It was nice for me at the beginning, I was finally able to work in much more comfortable conditions. However, I already think that can't go on forever. The apartment has turned into an office, I feel... — read more

BP is better than other O&G companies

Is my job perfect? No. But it's better than at the majority of other O&G companies. The main point is that we don't have nearly as many layoffs as they do (go check out some other companies on this webpage - it's a mess all over the place.) Amid a... — read more

Share Program

Thoughts on the newly introduced bp Share program? I'm not optimistic. Shares I received as "reward" a few years back have lost over half of their value by now. What a waste. They hang this long carrot in front of us and when it's time to cash in... — read more

Foxtrot Uniform Bernard

Just wanted to post a big F U to Bernard...I don't think any of BP's top execs has been this reviled, and I've been with BP for 20 years and saw and dealt with many of them. It's like he lives in an alternate reality, always worrying more about... — read more

Speak Up - Bernard's all hands call

The call with Bernard yesterday was shocking the amount of people who have completely lost faith in Speak Up at bp. I was shocked at how many damning comments there were about people being unable to speak up, fearing retaliation, leaders being... — read more

Contractors

Hi all. I have been through layoff cycles at a few other companies. This was my first at BP. Fortunately, I was selected, but the majority of the staff on my team was not. At my previous companies, the first action taken was to cancel or not renew... — read more

The Friend Zone

I am seeing more and more that people with experience are being exited and replaced by far less experienced people. It is glaringly obvious that experience doesn’t count for much and this is more about who is liked. So many promotions my god. .. — read more

Diversity in BP

Looks like BP k–led the diversity in the organisation with this restructuring. Whilst gender diversity was not impacted, people who are not the typical alpha male/ female that leadership likes the most were worst affected. If you are an introvert... — read more

Demographic of the layoffs

Looks like the vast majority of those let go were white male. Seems to be a common thing with the D&I days in companies. I have yet to hear of a woman getting let go, I am sure they are out there. Only one person I know let go was non-white, but... — read more 

Scare tactics are working

Looks like having people worry about being laid off 24/7 is working. Several people I know have quit or are getting ready to quit. I'm pretty sure that's part of BP's tactic: make the work environment so unbearable (with a constant threat of layoffs... — read more
